Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM)

Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM) - Question identifier:AMPM_R1

The 24-Hour Dietary Recall interview is composed of 5 Steps:

1.Quick List: The Quick List step is designed to get a quick collection of easily remembered foods, including snacks and water. In this step, respondent reports a listing of all foods and beverages consumed in a 24-hour period during the day before the interview in any order he/she wishes (without being interrupted by the interviewer). That is, the respondent is free of the burden of reporting the foods in a chronological order, so his/her mind can be free to reflect on the foods actually eaten.

Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM) - Question identifier:AMPM_R2

2. Forgotten Foods: This step is designed to collect foods that may have been forgotten during the "Quick List" step. The respondent answers a series of questions probing for forgotten foods from various categories: non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, sweets, savoury snacks, fruits, vegetables, cheese, breads and rolls, and any other types of foods.

Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM) - Question identifier:AMPM_R3

3. Time and Occasion: The respondent reports the time he/she began eating or drinking each of the reported foods and what he/she would call the eating occasion (e.g. breakfast, lunch) - as defined by the respondent - for this food. These questions are designed to help the respondent remember and report his/her eating patterns over the 24-hour period of the previous day, as well as to group together the foods eaten at the same time.

Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM) - Question identifier:AMPM_R4

4. Detail Cycle: This step is reserved for more detail oriented questions, executed by the interviewer after having developed a rapport. Respondent answers standardized questions to probe for detailed information about each food and beverage reported in the Quick List step. The questions include probes for: food descriptions, food amounts, additions to the foods, and preparation methods.

A "Food Model Booklet" is used as the main measuring guide to help the respondent describe the size or amount of the food consumed. The booklet contains pictures of various sizes of glasses, mugs, bowls, mounds/pats/spreads, and circles. In addition, it includes a grid, two wedges, and a page of shapes and chicken pieces.

Reviews of eating occasions and times between occasions are also included in this step to elicit forgotten foods. Once information about the eating occasion is complete, then the respondent is asked where the meal was eaten. The application flows in a chronological order.

Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM) - Question identifier:AMPM_R5

5. Final Probe: A final probe is asked to collect additional foods that may have been consumed, but not remembered or mentioned earlier during the interview.
